What will slap around

my Spendor sp100's in the used market at $3-$4k range. I have been very happy with the Spendors over the last few years, but have the urge for something different. I really don't want to take a backward step and I am reluctant. And actually will only consider something different if it is an obvious improvemnt to my system.
Room is 16'x24' with a one way vault from 8' to 12'. A staircase is on one 16' wall, and a half wall with 4' door opening on the other 16' side. System is on long wall and low side of vault.
Would prefer some thing that can fill the room a little more and make images larger, more life like. Want to maintain or better quality of midrange and tonality of Spendors. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Roxy54,
Thanks for your input and I have benefitted by your observations in other posts as well. Nice review of SP100's. I did'nt realize the Harbeth 40's were that much better than the SP100's. Obviously I have not heard 40's though I tried to get an audition a couple months back with 40.1, but no dealers had them available at that time. They are quite pricey new. The rep from Harbeth told me that the old 40.s were initially designed strictly for studio use. The new 40.1 is made with more consideration for use in home environment. I see a few dealers have them available now.

Have not heard Gallo's RW. They do look a little spooky. I would like to see them up close. You are so right about limited sweet spot with sp100. So, you think Gallo's and 9/1's for that matter, have as much presence or more than sp100's? Interesting. Good to hear from guys who are actually familiar with the Spendors. 61, I will have to look up info on M.A. studio 50. Thanks.
